FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to 3-(1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)piperidine-2,6-dione compounds and compositions and their use for the treatment of IKAROS Family Zinc Finger 2 (IKZF2)-dependent diseases or disorders or where reduction of IKZF2 or IKZF4 protein levels can ameliorate a disease or disorder.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

IKAROS Family Zinc Finger 2 (IKZF2) (also known as Helios) is one of the five members of the Ikaros family of transcription factors found in mammals IKZF2 contains four zinc finger domains near the N-terminus which are involved in DNA binding and two zinc finger domains at the C-terminus which are involved in protein dimerization. IKZF2 is about 50% identical with Ikaros family members, Ikaros (IKZF1), Aiolos (IKZF3), and Eos (IKZF4) with highest homology in the zinc finger regions (80%+ identity). These four Ikaros family transcription factors bind to the same DNA consensus site and can heterodimerize with each other when co-expressed in cells. The fifth Ikaros family protein, Pegasus (IKZF5), is only 25% identical to IKZF2, binds a different DNA site than other Ikaros family members and does not readily heterodimerize with the other Ikaros family proteins. IKZF2, IKZF1 and IKZF3 are expressed mainly in hematopoietic cells while IKZF4 and IKZF5 are expressed in a wide variety of tissues. (John, L. B., et al., (2011), Mol. Immunol. 48:1272-1278; Perdomo, J., et al., (2000), J. Biol. Chem. 275:38347-38354.)

IKZF2 is believed to have an important role in the function and stability of regulatory T cells (Tregs). IKZF2 is highly expressed at the mRNA and protein level by regulatory T-cell populations. Knockdown of IKZF2 by siRNA has been shown to result in downregulation of FoxP3 and to impair the ability of isolated human CD4+ CD25+ Tregs to block T-cell activation in vitro. Moreover, overexpression of IKZF2 in isolated murine Tregs has been shown to increase expression of Treg related markers such as CD103 and GITR and the IKZF2 overexpressing cells showed increased suppression of responder T-cells. IKZF2 has also been found to bind the promoter of FoxP3, the defining transcription factor of the regulatory T-cell lineage, and to affect FoxP3 expression.

Knockout of IKZF2 within FoxP3-expressing Tregs in mice has been shown to cause activated Tregs to lose their inhibitory properties, to express T-effector cytokines, and to take on T-effector functions. IKZF2 knockout mutant mice develop autoimmune disease by 6-8 months of age, with increased numbers of activated CD4 and CD8 T cells, follicular helper T cells and germinal center B cells. This observed effect is believed to be cell intrinsic, as Rag2−/− mice given bone marrow from IKZF2 knockout mice, but not bone marrow from IKZF2+/+ develop autoimmune disease. Direct evidence that IKZF2 affects regulatory T-cell function has been shown in the analysis of mice in which IKZF2 was deleted only in FoxP3 expressing cells (FoxP3-YFP-Cre Heliosfl/fl). The results showed that the mice also develop FXautoimmune disease with similar features as observed in the whole animal IKZF2 knockout. Moreover, pathway analysis of a CHIP-SEQ experiment has also suggested that IKZF2 is affecting expression of genes in the STAT5/IL-2Rα pathway in regulatory T-cells. This effect of IKZF2 loss was shown to be more apparent after an immune challenge (viral infection or injection with sheep's blood), and it was noted that after immune stimulation, the IKZF2 negative regulatory T cells began to take on features of effector T cells. (Getnet, D., et al., Mol. Immunol. (2010), 47:1595-1600; Bin Dhuban, K., et al., (2015), J. Immunol. 194 :3687-96; Kim, H-J., et al., (2015), Science 350 :334-339; Nakawaga, H., et al., (2016) PNAS, 113: 6248-6253)

Overexpression of Ikaros isoforms which lack the DNA binding regions have been shown to be associated with multiple human haematological malignancies. Recently, mutations in the IKZF2 gene, which lead to abnormal splicing variants, have been identified in adult T-cell leukemias and low hypodiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It has been proposed that these isoforms, which are capable of dimerization, have a dominant negative effect on Ikaros family transcription factors which primes the development of lymphomas. IKZF2 knockout mutants that survive into adulthood do not develop lymphomas, supporting this hypothesis (Asanuma, S., et al., (2013), Cancer Sci. 104:1097-1106; Zhang, Z., et al., (2007), Blood 109:2190-2197; Kataoka, D., et al., (2015), Nature Genetics 47:1304-1315.)

Currently, anti-CTLA4 antibodies are used in the clinic to target Tregs in tumors. However, targeting CTLA4 often causes systemic activation of T-effector cells, resulting in excessive toxicity and limiting therapeutic utility. Up to 3/4 of patients treated with a combination of anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 have reported grade 3 or higher adverse events. Thus, a strong need exists to provide compounds that target Tregs in tumors without causing systemic activation of T-effector cells.

An IKZF2-specific degrader has the potential to focus the enhanced immune response to areas within or near tumors providing a potentially more tolerable and less toxic therapeutic agent for the treatment of cancer.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

The compounds of the disclosure have use as therapeutic agents, particularly for cancers and related diseases. In one aspect, the compounds of the disclosure have IKZF2 degrader activity, preferably having such activity at or below the 50 μM level, and more preferably having such activity at or below the 10 μM level. In another aspect, the compounds of the disclosure have degrader activity for IKZF2 that is selective over one or more of IKZF1, IKZF3, IKZF4, and/or IKZF5. In another aspect, the compounds of the disclosure have degrader activity for both IKZF2 and IKZF4. The compounds of the disclosure have usefulness in treating cancer and other diseases for which such degrader activity would be beneficial for the patient. For example, while not intending to be bound by any theory, the inventors believe that reducing levels of IKZF2 in Tregs in a tumor may allow the patient immune system to more effectively attack the disease. In summary, the present disclosure provides novel IKZF2 degraders useful for the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to compounds and compositions that are capable of modulating IKZF2 protein levels. The disclosure features methods of treating, preventing, or ameliorating a disease or disorder in which IKZF2 plays a role by administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I′) or Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, prodrug, stereoisomer, or tautomer thereof. The methods of the present disclosure can be used in the treatment of a variety of IKZF2-dependent diseases and disorders by modulating IKZF2 protein levels. Modulation of IKZF2 protein levels through degradation provides a novel approach to the treatment, prevention, or amelioration of diseases including, but not limited to, cancer and metathesis, and other IKZF2-dependent diseases or disorders.

In one aspect, the compounds of the disclosure have use as therapeutic agents, particularly for cancers and related diseases. In one aspect, the compounds of the disclosure have IKZF2 degradation activity, preferably having such activity at or below the 50 μM level, and more preferably having such activity at or below the 10 μM level. In another aspect, the compounds of the disclosure have degrader activity for IKZF2 that is selective over one or more of IKZF1, IKZF3, IKZF4, and/or IKZF5. In another aspect, the compounds of the disclosure have degrader activity for both IKZF2 and IKZF4. The compounds of the disclosure have usefulness in treating cancer and other diseases for which such degradation activity would be beneficial for the patient. For example, while not intending to be bound by any theory, the inventors believe that reducing levels of IKZF2 in Tregs in a tumor may allow the patient immune system to more effectively attack the disease. In summary, the present disclosure provides novel IKZF2 degraders useful for the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

As used in the specification and appended claims, however, unless specified to the contrary, the following terms have the meaning indicated and the following conventions are adhered to.

A. Chemical Nomenclature, Terms, and Conventions

In the groups, radicals, or moieties defined below, the number of carbon atoms is often specified preceding the group, for example, (C₁-C₁₀)alkyl means an alkyl group or radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. In general, for groups comprising two or more subgroups, the last named group is the radical attachment point, for example, “alkylaryl” means a monovalent radical of the formula alkyl-aryl-, while “arylalkyl” means a monovalent radical of the formula aryl-alkyl-. Furthermore, the use of a term designating a monovalent radical where a divalent radical is appropriate shall be construed to designate the respective divalent radical and vice versa. Unless otherwise specified, conventional definitions of terms control and conventional stable atom valences are presumed and achieved in all formulas and groups. The articles “a” and “an” refer to one or more than one (e.g., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, “an element” means one element or more than one element.

The term “and/or” means either “and” or “or” unless indicated otherwise.

The term “optionally substituted” means that a given chemical moiety (e.g., an alkyl group) can (but is not required to) be bonded other substituents (e.g., heteroatoms). For instance, an alkyl group that is optionally substituted can be a fully saturated alkyl chain (e.g., a pure hydrocarbon). Alternatively, the same optionally substituted alkyl group can have substituents different from hydrogen. For instance, it can, at any point along the chain be bounded to a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, or any other substituent described herein. Thus, the term “optionally substituted” means that a given chemical moiety has the potential to contain other functional groups, but does not necessarily have any further functional groups. Suitable substituents used in the optional substitution of the described groups include, without limitation, halogen, oxo, —OH, —CN, —COOH, —CH₂CN, —O—(C₁-C₆)alkyl, (C₁-C₆)alkyl, (C₁-C₆)alkoxy, (C₁-C₆)haloalkyl, (C₁-C₆)haloalkoxy, —O—(C₂-C₆)alkenyl, —O—(C₂-C₆)alkynyl, (C₂-C₆)alkenyl, (C₂-C₆)alkynyl, —OH, —OP(O)(OH)₂, —OC(O)(C₁-C₆)alkyl, —C(O)(C₁-C₆)alkyl, —OC(O)O(C₁-C₆)alkyl, —NH₂, —NH((C₁-C₆)alkyl), —N((C₁-C₆)alkyl)₂, —NHC(O)(C₁-C₆)alkyl, —C(O)NH(C₁-C₆)alkyl, —S(O)₂(C₁-C₆)alkyl, —S(O)NH(C₁-C₆)alkyl, and S(O)N((C₁-C₆)alkyl)₂. The substituents can themselves be optionally substituted. “Optionally substituted” as used herein also refers to substituted or unsubstituted whose meaning is described below.

The term “substituted” means that the specified group or moiety bears one or more suitable substituents wherein the substituents may connect to the specified group or moiety at one or more positions. For example, an aryl substituted with a cycloalkyl may indicate that the cycloalkyl connects to one atom of the aryl with a bond or by fusing with the aryl and sharing two or more common atoms.

The term “unsubstituted” means that the specified group bears no substituents.

Unless otherwise specifically defined, “aryl” means a cyclic, aromatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 aromatic rings, including monocyclic or bicyclic groups such as phenyl, biphenyl, or naphthyl. When containing two aromatic rings (bicyclic, etc.), the aromatic rings of the aryl group are optionally joined at a single point (e.g., biphenyl), or fused (e.g., naphthyl). The aryl group is optionally substituted by one or more substituents, e.g., 1 to 5 substituents, at any point of attachment.

B. Salt, Prodrug, Derivative, and Solvate Terms and Conventions

“Prodrug” or “prodrug derivative” mean a covalently-bonded derivative or carrier of the parent compound or active drug substance which undergoes at least some biotransformation prior to exhibiting its pharmacological effect(s). In general, such prodrugs have metabolically cleavable groups and are rapidly transformed in vivo to yield the parent compound, for example, by hydrolysis in blood, and generally include esters and amide analogs of the parent compounds. The prodrug is formulated with the objectives of improved chemical stability, improved patient acceptance and compliance, improved bioavailability, prolonged duration of action, improved organ selectivity, improved formulation (e.g., increased hydrosolubility), and/or decreased side effects (e.g., toxicity). In general, prodrugs themselves have weak or no biological activity and are stable under ordinary conditions. Prodrugs can be readily prepared from the parent compounds using methods known in the art, such as those described in A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krogsgaard-Larsen and H. Bundgaard (eds.), Gordon & Breach, 1991, particularly Chapter 5: “Design and Applications of Prodrugs”; Design of Prodrugs, H. Bundgaard (ed.), Elsevier, 1985; Prodrugs: Topical and Ocular Drug Delivery, K. B. Sloan (ed.), Marcel Dekker, 1998; Methods in Enzymology, K. Widder et al. (eds.), Vol. 42, Academic Press, 1985, particularly pp. 309-396; Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery, 5th Ed., M.

“Salt” means an ionic form of the parent compound or the product of the reaction between the parent compound with a suitable acid or base to make the acid salt or base salt of the parent compound. Salts of the compounds of the present disclosure can be synthesized from the parent compounds which contain a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, the salts are prepared by reacting the free base or acid parent compound with stoichiometric amounts or with an excess of the desired salt-forming inorganic or organic acid or base in a suitable solvent or various combinations of solvents.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” means a salt of a compound of the disclosure which is, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, generally water or oil-soluble or dispersible, and effective for their intended use. The term includes pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts and pharmaceutically-acceptable base addition salts. As the compounds of the present disclosure are useful in both free base and salt form, in practice, the use of the salt form amounts to use of the base form. Lists of suitable salts are found in, e.g., S. M. Birge et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, pp. 1-19, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

“Pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salt” means those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free bases and which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable, formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like, and organic acids such as acetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, adipic acid, alginic acid, ascorbic acid, aspartic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, butyric acid, camphoric acid, camphorsulfonic acid, cinnamic acid, citric acid, digluconic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, glutamic acid, glycolic acid, glycerophosphoric acid, hemisulfic acid, heptanoic acid, hexanoic acid, formic acid, fumaric acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid (isethionic acid), lactic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, mandelic acid, mesitylenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, nicotinic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, oxalic acid, pamoic acid, pectinic acid, phenylacetic acid, 3-phenylpropionic acid, picric acid, pivalic acid, propionic acid, pyruvic acid, pyruvic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, succinic acid, sulfanilic acid, tartaric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, undecanoic acid, and the like.

“Solvate” means a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute, for example, a compound of Formula (I′) or Formula (I)) and solvent, for example, water, ethanol, or acetic acid. This physical association may involve varying degrees of ionic and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. In general, such solvents selected for the purpose of the disclosure do not interfere with the biological activity of the solute. Solvates encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, methanolates, and the like.

The compounds of the present disclosure as discussed below include the free base or acid thereof, their salts, solvates, and prodrugs and may include oxidized sulfur atoms or quaternized nitrogen atoms in their structure, although not explicitly stated or shown, particularly the pharmaceutically acceptable forms thereof. Such forms, particularly the pharmaceutically acceptable forms, are intended to be embraced by the appended claims.

C. Isomer Terms and Conventions

“Isomers” means compounds having the same number and kind of atoms, and hence the same molecular weight, but differing with respect to the arrangement or configuration of the atoms in space. The term includes stereoisomers and geometric isomers.

“Stereoisomer” or “optical isomer” mean a stable isomer that has at least one chiral atom or restricted rotation giving rise to perpendicular dissymmetric planes (e.g., certain biphenyls, allenes, and spiro compounds) and can rotate plane-polarized light. Because asymmetric centers and other chemical structure exist in the compounds of the disclosure which may give rise to stereoisomerism, the disclosure contemplates stereoisomers and mixtures thereof. The compounds of the disclosure and their salts include asymmetric carbon atoms and may therefore exist as single stereoisomers, racemates, and as mixtures of enantiomers and diastereomers. Typically, such compounds will be prepared as a racemic mixture. If desired, however, such compounds can be prepared or isolated as pure stereoisomers, i.e., as individual enantiomers or diastereomers, or as stereoisomer-enriched mixtures. As discussed in more detail below, individual stereoisomers of compounds are prepared by synthesis from optically active starting materials containing the desired chiral centers or by preparation of mixtures of enantiomeric products followed by separation or resolution, such as conversion to a mixture of diastereomers followed by separation or recrystallization, chromatographic techniques, use of chiral resolving agents, or direct separation of the enantiomers on chiral chromatographic columns. Starting compounds of particular stereochemistry are either commercially available or are made by the methods described below and resolved by techniques well-known in the art.

“Enantiomers” means a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

“Diastereoisomers” or “diastereomers” mean optical isomers which are not mirror images of each other.

“Racemic mixture” or “racemate” mean a mixture containing equal parts of individual enantiomers.

“Non-racemic mixture” means a mixture containing unequal parts of individual enantiomers.

“Geometrical isomer” means a stable isomer which results from restricted freedom of rotation about double bonds (e.g., cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene) or in a cyclic structure (e.g., cis-1,3-dichlorocyclobutane and trans-1,3-dichlorocyclobutane). Because carbon-carbon double (olefinic) bonds, C═N double bonds, cyclic structures, and the like may be present in the compounds of the disclosure, the disclosure contemplates each of the various stable geometric isomers and mixtures thereof resulting from the arrangement of substituents around these double bonds and in these cyclic structures. The substituents and the isomers are designated using the cis/trans convention or using the E or Z system, wherein the term “E” means higher order substituents on opposite sides of the double bond, and the term “Z” means higher order substituents on the same side of the double bond. A thorough discussion of E and Z isomerism is provided in J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, 4th ed., John Wiley & Sons, 1992, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Several of the following examples represent single E isomers, single Z isomers, and mixtures of E/Z isomers. Determination of the E and Z isomers can be done by analytical methods such as x-ray crystallography, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR.

Some of the compounds of the disclosure can exist in more than one tautomeric form. As mentioned above, the compounds of the disclosure include all such tautomers.

It is well-known in the art that the biological and pharmacological activity of a compound is sensitive to the stereochemistry of the compound. Thus, for example, enantiomers often exhibit strikingly different biological activity including differences in pharmacokinetic properties, including metabolism, protein binding, and the like, and pharmacological properties, including the type of activity displayed, the degree of activity, toxicity, and the like. Thus, one skilled in the art will appreciate that one enantiomer may be more active or may exhibit beneficial effects when enriched relative to the other enantiomer or when separated from the other enantiomer. Additionally, one skilled in the art would know how to separate, enrich, or selectively prepare the enantiomers of the compounds of the disclosure from this disclosure and the knowledge of the prior art.

Thus, although the racemic form of drug may be used, it is often less effective than administering an equal amount of enantiomerically pure drug; indeed, in some cases, one enantiomer may be pharmacologically inactive and would merely serve as a simple diluent. For example, although ibuprofen had been previously administered as a racemate, it has been shown that only the S-isomer of ibuprofen is effective as an anti-inflammatory agent (in the case of ibuprofen, however, although the R-isomer is inactive, it is converted in vivo to the S-isomer, thus, the rapidity of action of the racemic form of the drug is less than that of the pure S-isomer). Furthermore, the pharmacological activities of enantiomers may have distinct biological activity. For example, S-penicillamine is a therapeutic agent for chronic arthritis, while R-penicillamine is toxic. Indeed, some purified enantiomers have advantages over the racemates, as it has been reported that purified individual isomers have faster transdermal penetration rates compared to the racemic mixture. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,114,946 and 4,818,541.

Thus, if one enantiomer is pharmacologically more active, less toxic, or has a preferred disposition in the body than the other enantiomer, it would be therapeutically more beneficial to administer that enantiomer preferentially. In this way, the patient undergoing treatment would be exposed to a lower total dose of the drug and to a lower dose of an enantiomer that is possibly toxic or an inhibitor of the other enantiomer.

Preparation of pure enantiomers or mixtures of desired enantiomeric excess (ee) or enantiomeric purity are accomplished by one or more of the many methods of (a) separation or resolution of enantiomers, or (b) enantioselective synthesis known to those of skill in the art, or a combination thereof. These resolution methods generally rely on chiral recognition and include, for example, chromatography using chiral stationary phases, enantioselective host-guest complexation, resolution or synthesis using chiral auxiliaries, enantioselective synthesis, enzymatic and nonenzymatic kinetic resolution, or spontaneous enantioselective crystallization. Such methods are disclosed generally in Chiral Separation Techniques: A Practical Approach (2nd Ed.), G. Subramanian (ed.), Wiley-VCH, 2000; T. E. Beesley and R. P. W. Scott, Chiral Chromatography, John Wiley & Sons, 1999; and Satinder Ahuja, Chiral Separations by Chromatography, Am. Chem. Soc., 2000. Furthermore, there are equally well-known methods for the quantitation of enantiomeric excess or purity, for example, GC, HPLC, CE, or NMR, and assignment of absolute configuration and conformation, for example, CD ORD, X-ray crystallography, or NMR.

In general, all tautomeric forms and isomeric forms and mixtures, whether individual geometric isomers or stereoisomers or racemic or non-racemic mixtures, of a chemical structure or compound is intended, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated in the compound name or structure.

In another embodiment of the disclosure, the compounds of the present disclosure are enantiomers. In some embodiments the compounds are the (S)-enantiomer. In other embodiments the compounds are the (R)-enantiomer. In yet other embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure may be (+) or (−) enantiomers.

It should be understood that all isomeric forms are included within the present disclosure, including mixtures thereof. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituent may be in the E or Z configuration. If the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the cycloalkyl substituent may have a cis- or trans configuration. All tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

Compounds of the disclosure, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates, stereoisomers, and prodrugs thereof may exist in their tautomeric form (for example, as an amide or imino ether). All such tautomeric forms are contemplated herein as part of the present disclosure.

The compounds of the disclosure may contain asymmetric or chiral centers and, therefore, exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the disclosure as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures, form part of the present disclosure. In addition, the present disclosure embraces all geometric and positional isomers. For example, if a compound of the disclosure incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and trans-forms, as well as mixtures, are embraced within the scope of the disclosure. Each compound herein disclosed includes all the enantiomers that conform to the general structure of the compound. The compounds may be in a racemic or enantiomerically pure form, or any other form in terms of stereochemistry. The assay results may reflect the data collected for the racemic form, the enantiomerically pure form, or any other form in terms of stereochemistry.

Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Also, some of the compounds of the disclosure may be atropisomers (e.g., substituted biaryls) and are considered as part of this disclosure. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of a chiral HPLC column.

It is also possible that the compounds of the disclosure may exist in different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are embraced within the scope of the disclosure and chemical structures and names. Also, for example, all keto-enol and imine-enamine forms of the compounds are included in the disclosure.

All stereoisomers (for example, geometric isomers, optical isomers, and the like) of the present compounds (including those of the salts, solvates, esters, and prodrugs of the compounds as well as the salts, solvates and esters of the prodrugs), such as those which may exist due to asymmetric carbons on various substituents, including enantiomeric forms (which may exist even in the absence of asymmetric carbons), rotameric forms, atropisomers, and diastereomeric forms, are contemplated within the scope of this disclosure, as are positional isomers (such as, for example, 4-pyridyl and 3-pyridyl). (For example, if a compound of Formula (I′) or Formula (I) incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and trans-forms, as well as mixtures, are embraced within the scope of the disclosure. Also, for example, all keto-enol and imine-enamine forms of the compounds are included in the disclosure.) Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of the disclosure may, for example, be substantially free of other isomers, or is admixed, for example, as racemates or with all other, or other selected, stereoisomers.

The chiral centers of the compounds of the disclosure can have the S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least 50% enantiomeric excess, at least 60% enantiomeric excess, at least 70% enantiomeric excess, at least 80% enantiomeric excess, at least 90% enantiomeric excess, at least 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least 99% enantiomeric excess in the (R)- or (S)-configuration. Substituents at atoms with unsaturated double bonds may, if possible, be present in cis-(Z)- or trans-(E)-form.

The use of the terms “salt”, “solvate”, “ester,” “prodrug”, and the like, is intended to equally apply to the salt, solvate, ester, and prodrug of enantiomers, stereoisomers, rotamers, tautomers, positional isomers, racemates, or prodrugs of the inventive compounds.

The compounds of the disclosure may form salts which are also within the scope of this disclosure. Reference to a compound of the Formula herein is generally understood to include reference to salts thereof, unless otherwise indicated.

The compounds and intermediates may be isolated and used as the compound per se. Any formula given herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, and, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸F, ³¹P, ³²P, respectively. The disclosure includes various isotopically labeled compounds as defined herein, for example those into which radioactive isotopes, such as ³H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴C, are present. Such isotopically labelled compounds are useful in metabolic studies (with ¹⁴C), reaction kinetic studies (with, for example ²H or ³H), detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in radioactive treatment of patients. In particular, an ¹⁸F, ¹¹C or labeled compound may be particularly desirable for PET or SPECT studies.

Further, substitution with heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium (i.e., ²H or D) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements, reduced CYP450 inhibition (competitive or time dependent) or an improvement in therapeutic index. For example, substitution with deuterium may modulate undesirable side effects of the undeuterated compound, such as competitive CYP450 inhibition, time dependent CYP450 inactivation, etc. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in compounds of the present disclosure.

Reductive amination of I-e with aldehyde or ketone I-g provides a compound of Formula (I′) where X₁ is CH and R₂ is a substituted alkyl. Alternatively, Compounds of Formula (I′) where X₁ is CH and R₂ is a substituted alkyl can be obtained by alkylation of I-e with an alkyl halide (I-f) in the presence of a base (e.g., NEt₃, Cs₂CO₃, etc.), in a solvent (e.g., DCM, DMF, etc.), and optionally at elevated temperature.

The general way of preparing Compounds of Formula (I′) wherein X₁ is CH and

is a single bond and intermediate I-p using intermediates I-k, I-l, I-m, I-n, and I-o is outlined in General Scheme V. Coupling of I-k with I-l using a catalyst (e.g., NiBr₂.DME with 4,4-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-dipyridyl (di-t-Bu-bipy) or 2-amidinopyridine), manganese powder (Mn), and potassium iodide (KI), in a solvent (e.g. N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA)) optionally at elevated temperature yields intermediate I-m. Intermediate I-m can then be converted to the corresponding haloester I-n using thionyl chloride (SoCl₂) in a solvent (e.g. EtOH) and optionally at elevated temperature. Cyclization with 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione I-o or its HCl or CF₃CO₂H salt using a base (e.g., i-Pr₂NEt) in a solvent (e.g. DMF) and optionally at elevated temperature provides compounds of Formula (I′) or intermediate I-p.

Example 8: 3-(5-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)piperidine-2,6-dione (I-57)

Example 8 was prepared by two different methods: Method 1—Via a Reductive Amination Procedure:

To a stirred solution of I-155 (450 mg, 1.2 mmol) in a mixture of DMF (5 mL), DCM (5 mL), and benzaldehyde (157 mg, 1.5 mmol) was added NaBH(OAc)₃ (0.78 g, 3.7 mmol) in a single portion. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 16 h. The reaction mass was then concentrated under reduced pressure, neutralized with NaHCO₃ solution, and extracted in DCM. The organic layer was then dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure affording a light brown solid. The solid was then purified by column chromatography, eluting with 0-10% NEt₃/EtOAc, affording I-57 as a white solid (210 mg, 0.50 mmol, 42% yield). MS [M+H]⁺=418.2. ¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆): δ 10.98 (s, 1H), 7.64 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (s, 1H), 7.40 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (d, J=4.4 Hz, 4H), 7.29-7.23 (m, 1H), 5.10 (dd, J=13.3, 5.1 Hz, 1H), 4.42 (d, J=17.2 Hz, 1H), 4.28 (d, J=17.2 Hz, 1H), 3.51 (s, 2H), 2.99-2.84 (m, 3H), 2.71-2.56 (m, 2H), 2.46-2.31 (m, 1H), 2.16-1.94 (m, 3H), 1.84-1.64 (m, 4H).

Method 2—Via an Alkylation Reaction:

To a stirred solution of I-155 (80 mg, 0.22 mmol) in DMF (0.8 mL) was added NEt₃ (0.09 mL, 0.62 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred for 15 min. Benzyl bromide (0.03 mL, 0.27 mmol) was then added and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated to dryness and the resulting residue was washed with Et₂O then decanted. The remaining residue was dried under high vacuum to afford I-57 as an off-white solid (50 mg, 0.12 mmol, 54% yield).

Preparation of I-57 was also achieved in a single step from intermediate 29d using the following procedure, (preparation of 29d is outlined in Example 29):

To a mixture of 29d (50 mg, 0.135 mmol), tert-butyl 1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (8c, 65 mg, 0.19 mmol), NiBr₂.DME (4.2 mg, 0.014 mmol), di-t-Bu-bipy (3.6 mg, 0.014 mmol), KI (22.4 mg, 0.135 mmol), and manganese powder (15 mg, 0.27 mmol) in DMA (0.67 mL) was added 4-ethylpyridine (15 μL, 0.14 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred vigorously at 80° C. for 4.5 h. The reaction mixture was then filtered through a short pad of Celite® filter aid and eluted with DCM. The obtained solution was concentrated by azeotroping with heptane. The crude product was purified via chromatography on silica gel eluting with NEt₃ (0-10%) in EtOAc to afford I-57 (24.5 mg, 0.059 mmol, 43.4% yield) as a white solid.

Biological Assays and Data

The activity of a compound according to the present disclosure can be assessed by the following in vitro methods.

Example 73: Prolabel Quantification of IKZF1, IKZF2 or GSPT1 Protein Levels in 293GT Cells

The Prolabel system from DiscoverX was used to develop high-throughput and quantitative assays to measure changes in IKZF1, IKZF2 and GSPT1 protein levels in response to compounds. The prolabel tag was derived from the alpha fragment of beta galactosidase and has the following protein sequence: mssnslavvlqrrdwenpgvtqlnrlaahppfaswrnseeartdrpsqqlrslnge. The complementary fragment of beta-galactosidase (from DiscoverX), is added to the prolabel tag to form an active beta galactosidase enzyme whose activity can be precisely measured. In this way, the levels of a fusion protein with the prolabel tag can be quantified in cell lysates.

Lentiviral vectors, based on the Invitrogen pLenti6.2/V5 DEST backbone, were constructed that placed the prolabel tag upstream of IKZF1, IKZF2 or GSPT1 and expressed the fusion protein from a CMV promoter.

To ensure moderate and consistent expression of the prolabel fusion proteins across all cells in the population, stable cell lines were constructed from cells expressing a single copy of the construct. Lentivirus packaged with the constructs was made using the Virapower kit from Invitrogen. Strongly adherent 293GT cell, GripTite 293 MSR cells from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Catalog number: R79507), were infected with the virus at low multiplicity of infection and selected by 5 μg/mL blasticidin for 2 weeks.

The levels of prolabel tagged fusion proteins in compound treated cell lines were measured as follows:

Day 1, Cells were diluted to 1.0×10⁶ cells/ml in normal growth medium. 17.5 μL of cells were plated in each well of a solid white 384 well plate. Plates were incubated overnight in a 37° C. tissue culture incubator.

Day 2, Serial dilutions of compounds were made in 384 well plates from 10 mM stocks. 15 μL of DMSO was added to each well of a 384 well plate. In the first column 15 μL of stock compound was added. The solution was mixed and 15 μL was transferred to the next column. This was repeated until 20 two-fold dilutions were prepared. 2.5 μL of diluted compounds were transferred into 60 μL of cell culture medium in another 384 well plate, and mixed well. 2.5 μL of this mixture was added to the plated cells. The final DMSO concentration was 0.5% and the highest concentration of compound was 50 μM. Plates were incubated overnight (e.g., about 14 h, 18 h, or 24 h) in a 37° C. tissue culture incubator.

Day 3, Plates were removed from the incubator and allowed to equilibrate at rt for 30 minutes. Prolabel substrate (DiscoverX PathHunter Prolabel Detection Kit, User manual: 93-0180) was added as described by the manufacturers protocols. Plates were incubated at rt for three hours and luminescence was read using an Envision reader (Perkin Elmer) Data was analyzed and visualized using the Spotfire software package.

As shown in FIGS. 4-11, the compounds of the present disclosure decreased IKZF2 levels compared to control in the Prolabel assay in HEK293GT cells. Reduction of IKZF2 levels ranging from 50% to 80% compared to control were observed for compounds I-43, I-57, I-68, I-69, I-136, I-147, I-219, and I-236 in FIGS. 4-11.

Example 74: Quantification of In Vitro Suppressive Potency of Primary Human Regulatory T Cells Expanded in the Presence of Compounds Materials and Methods

Treg Cell Sorting:

Human buffy coats were obtained from BioreclamationIVT, in the USA. CD4+ T cells were isolated from said buffy coats using the RosetteSep Human CD4+ T cell enrichment Cocktail (Stemcell technologies, USA) and gradient centrifugation over Ficoll Paque Plus (GE HealthCare LifeSciences, USA) as per manufacturer's recommendations. Cells were resuspended in RPMI medium supplemented with 1% penicillin-Streptomycin solution, 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, HEPES (10 mM), MEM NEAA (100 nM), sodium pyruvate (1 mM) (all supplements from Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), thereafter referred to as complete RPMI (cRPMI), and rested overnight at 37° C., 5% CO₂ in the presence of 2 U/mL rhIL-2 (Proleukin, Novartis). Cells were collected and resuspended in autoMACS Running Buffer supplemented with BSA (Miltenyi Biotec, USA) and labelled using CD4-FITC antibody (clone RPA-T4), CD25-APC antibody (clone M-A251) (Biolegend) and CD25 Microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, USA). CD25-enriched cells were then isolated using the autoMACS Pro Separator. A highly purified population of Treg cells was then obtained by further sorting CD4+ CD25Hi cells using a Sony SH800 cell sorter. The resulting Treg cell population was routinely above 90% pure according to FOXP3 expression.

Treg Cell Expansion:

Purified Treg cells were plated in cRPMI in 96-well, round-bottom plates at a density of 25000-50000 cells per well and activated in the presence of 500 U/mL rhIL2, and Treg expander Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) according to manufacturer's recommendations, in the presence or absence of 100 μM rapamycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The compounds of the present disclosure were then added at a final concentration of 10 μM and DMSO was added as a vehicle control. Cells were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO₂ for a total of 12-14 days. The compound and rhIL2 were replenished every 48 h during the entirety of the culture.

Phenotypic Analysis of Expanded Treg Cells:

Cell were collected and counted and the fold expansion was calculated as (number of cells recovered)/(number of cells plated). A fraction of the cells was fixed and permeabilized using the eBioscience Foxp3 staining Buffer kit (eBioscience, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) and stained with Helios-PECyanine7 antibody (Clone 22F6). To determine IL2-expression, expanded Treg cells were further incubated in the presence of the eBioscience Cell Stimulation Cocktail with Protein inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 4 hours, followed by fixation and staining with IL2-BV711 antibody (clone MQ1-17H12) (Biolegend, USA). Cells were acquired on an LSRFortessa (Becton Dickinson, USA) and analysis was performed using the FlowJo software (TreeStar, USA).

Functional Analysis of Expanded Treg Cells:

Primary human PBMCs were obtained from freshly prepared buffy coats (BioReclamationIVT) using gradient centrifugation over Ficoll Paque Plus as per manufacturer's recommendations. Cells were then labelled with CFSE (5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and plated in triplicates cRPMI in round bottom 96-well plates, alone or with expanded Treg cells at a 1:2 PBMC:Treg ratio. The compounds of the present disclosure were then added at a final concentration of 10 μM and DMSO was added as a vehicle control. Cells were activated using soluble anti-CD3 antibody (clone OKT3) (eBioscience, ThermoFisher Scientific, USA) at a final concentration of 100 ng/ml. Cells were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO₂ for a total of 4-5 days. At the end of the culture, cells were stained using the Live/dead Blue viability stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) as per manufacturer's instructions, followed by staining with CD4-BUV737 (Clone SK3) (BDBiosciences, USA) and CD8-BV711 (clone RPA-T8) (Biolegend, USA). Cells were acquired on an LSRFortessa (Becton Dickinson, USA) and analysis was performed using the FlowJo software (TreeStar, USA). Proliferation was assessed in each population as the proportion of cells having diluted CFSE. Suppression was assessed for each condition in comparison to the responders plated alone.

Human primary regulatory T cells were expanded in vitro in the presence of Compound I-57 and equivalent volume of DMSO (control) for a period of 12 days. The expanded Treg cells were counted (FIG. 1) and analyzed for production of IL-2 (FIG. 2) and in vitro suppression of the proliferation of CD4+ T cells (FIG. 3). Repressed IL-2 production is a hallmark of Treg cell lineage stability and function. Treg cells were found to expand 30% less in the presence of compound I-57 (FIG. 1) and the proportion of cells producing IL-2 was increased in these cells by a median of 2.16 fold over five independent donors (FIG. 2). In addition, the expanded Treg cells were less able to repress the proliferation of CD4+ T cells in vitro in five independent donors (FIG. 3). These findings show that Compound I-57 induces a loss of Treg cell proliferation, stability and suppressive function.
